The Best of Amazon Baby + Toddler Swimwear
In an attempt to will us into warmer weather, I’ve started swimsuit shopping for Brody + Isla and it’s making me so excited for summer! I like to stock up on suits for the kids in the off season and usually find some great deals. I’m sharing all of my favorite finds for this year and score, they are all on Amazon. Most of these suits come in a huge size range - from infants up to big kids - so you can mix and match for the whole family. Bonus - there’s a brand that has matching trunks for boys and dads and the sweetest mommy-and-me set on this list!
Tips for Purchasing Kids’ Suits
Like all clothing that we buy for our babies, they grow out of everything so fast. Luckily, swimsuits are really a seasonal thing so you only need them to last three to four months. I always read the product reviews, especially when I’m buying from Amazon. Whenever I’m browsing for suits, I like to keep these things in mind:
Size up in the bottom | While it is assumed that babies and toddlers will be wearing diapers, sometimes their clothing doesn’t always reflect that! If the bottoms look tight, make sure you go up a size to account for swim diapers.
Keep it simple | Lots of bells and whistles - or detachable bows and tight straps - might be cute online but a total nightmare on your toddler. Keep them comfortable and your patience in tact by opting for an option that has everything sewn on or wider straps for maximum comfort.
SPF? You bet | I love that you can find rash guards and swimwear that already has SPF incorporated into the fabric. That extra layer of protection will help keep your babies from burning while they’re enjoying the water and give you extra peace of mind.
Snap, zip and pop | If you’re buying swimwear for an infant, keep your eye out for suits that have zippers and snaps. Not only do these options make getting dressed and undressed much easier, but they also keep you from having to strip your wiggle worm down for every diaper change. Although, who doesn’t love a naked baby at the beach?
One: Mommy + Me Matching Ruffle Swimsuit | A full coverage suit with ruffles? Sign me up! I love that these suits are a solid color, so they're easy to mix and match with other accessories or suits for other family members.
Two: Carter's Swim Trunks | These trunks are dino-myte! They come in seven different design options and have UPF 50+ right in the fabric.
Three: MaaMgic Kids Swim Trunks | I ordered these for Brody and they may be my favorite pair of trunks on the list. I love the short length and there are 23 different styles ranging from 2T to 7. This brand also has men's sizes!
Four: LOSORN ZPY Swimsuit | When I happened across this swan swimsuit with the ruffle feather detail, I couldn't pass it up. The sizes go by age and range from 1-6. They also have a flamingo and parrot design.
Five: Zutano Baby Sun Hat | Babies + toddlers need full sun protection which includes adorable hats! I like that this option can tie on and it comes in seven different colors. It also offers SPF 30 protection.
Six: Sugar House Long Sleeve Rash Guard One Piece | You'll have the cutest flamingo in the flock with this adorable one piece suit! Sizes range from 6 mo to 4T and is also available in a lemon or paisley pattern.
Seven: CFP Seersucker Swim Trunks | Nothing says warmer weather in the south better than seersucker! But if gingham is more of your style, you can snag this cute option from RuggedButts that I ordered for Brody.

Ten: Kanu Surf Rashguard | Available in eight colors and a full range of sizes, these rash guards are an easy way to add extra protection at the pool or the beach. These shirts tend to run a little small, so size up if you're unsure.
Eleven: Hope & Henry Girls' Bikini Swim Set | Red, white, and cute all over! I love the nautical theme of this swimsuit - it would be perfect for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July.
Twelve: Hope & Henry Girls' One-Piece Rashguard | If Minnie Mouse were wearing a swimsuit, I think she would pick this one. The front zip allows fear easy on and off and the mock neck and long sleeves give an extra layer of protection for fun in the sun.
